“The best decision for a family”

Reviewed 26 June 2014
for a stay in May 2014

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. We will definitely be back again. Our party included myself, husband and toddler, my parents and brother with his girlfriend. There is plenty of space and rooms for us all including bathrooms. It's very clean and what a surprise to find all the beach gear for use in the garage! Washer and dryer were super convenient for us all. There are extra linens, towels, including beach towels, and basic toiletries. Also, the grounds are well kept and Perfect for allowing my baby to play. Location is great especially when traveling with a baby. Baby beach was ideal for us and the shopping center a short walk down the road was great for strolling at dusk. It's because of the house that I wanted to extend my vacation. Enjoy your stay at this beautifulHome. You won't regret it. I'll never stay in a hotel on the island after this experience. Also, the owners and rental company are trustworthy. I received my deposit, transaction, and rental information on a timely basis.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Perfect location adjacent to Baby Beach and other near by beach access points. Two blocks walking distance to a Living Foods grocery market and delicious dinner option at Beach House restaurant. The home itself is very well appointed, spacious, and worked out perfectly for two young couples with babies (they slept in our respective master suites) and a grand mother in the third bedroom. The finishes in the home were gorgeous and well crafted. Having two families and a grandmother in the house at the same time NEVER felt cramped and always worked out perfectly. The home was quiet, even with babies crying at various times. Beautiful views from the upstairs living room. Fans in every room were more than able to keep the air cool without air conditioning (there is none in the home). The kitchen is large and allows for multiple people to be in it at the same time. The bathrooms were also spacious and well appointed. The hot water worked perfectly and water pressure was perfect. The lighting in the home was excellent as well. The landscaping was gorgeous and there was plenty of room to run around in the garden and BBQ.

The ONE and only complaint I have about this house is that the appliances need upgrading. The dryer took three hours to dry clothes! Once the repair man came to fix it, it took two hours to dry the clothes. The washer is the older top loading type that wastes a lot of water and is rough on clothes compared to the newer front loading type. The refrigerator was sort of weird as well and did not cool as well as we had hoped. The freezer area where ice is made had a lot of ice build up on it as well. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes well (even though we pre-rinsed), so we ended up handwashing everything and using the dishwasher as a drying rack, only one burner on the stove worked accurately, the stove exhaust fan is just a charcoal vent that vents back into the room rather than outside, and the microwave oven had a superficial crack in the front of the plastic. The owner was very responsive to our concern about the dryer and immediately sent a repair man to look at it. But, the appliances seem like they are original to the house (I believe it was built in 2005) and need some upgrades.

If you do not cook a lot and you don't plan on doing much wash (we did because of the babies), then this house is absolutely perfect! Otherwise, I hope that the owner will upgrade the appliances as it becomes financially possible, as it will tremendously add to the perfectness of this home.

Since this review, we have purchased a new high end Samsung refrigerator. We had a lot of problems with the Whirlpool refrigerator and sometimes guests did not close the doors fully so they thought it was not working. The range and oven are serviced regularly, as is the microwave. We have not had any other comments about the dishwasher, but it worked fine when my wife and I stayed in this house in January, 2013. The dryer is an electric dryer (no gas on the island) and they take longer to dry than gas dryers. If you are used to gas dryers, this one will seem slow.

Everything went smoothly. The owner responded quickly to our search and made sure that we had toys for our grandchild. The home was clean and nicely furnished. We arrived to find lights on, floral arrangements in the upstairs living area. The bedrooms were located downstairs for privacy. If adults wanted to play cards/watch television, they could remain upstairs. For little ones who had a earlier bedtime or adults who wanted quiet time, they could go downstairs to their rooms. Perfect for all 7 of us. The home is supplied with soap, washing detergent, basic cooking ingredients, beach toys/chairs, beach toys. We just hit Costco for the food we wanted. The Baby Beach was a block away. Great vacation.
